After the divorce, I started to transfer

Qin Zhen had gone to the Red Demon Kingdom with Chen Feng before, and helped rescue Jin Xinyan's father, Jin Yongnian.

He mainly accompanied Chen Feng that time, which was partly for official business, but he didn't get much credit for it afterwards.

This time, Chen Feng could leverage Zhao Jinfu's extensive network of connections to legitimately include Qin Zhen in the operation, making this international rescue a perfectly legitimate official mission.

If Qin Zhen can successfully rescue Zhao Xingrong unharmed, his promotion and salary increase will be a sure thing, and the Zhao family will owe him a huge favor.

Qin Zhen was clearly unaware of this deeper meaning, simply assuming it was the same as last time—purely out of brotherly affection, accompanying his sworn brother Chen Feng into another perilous situation to protect him.

Based solely on Qin Zhen's unconditional trust and high regard, Chen Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that he had made the right choice in choosing this brother!

Out of caution, Chen Feng did not reveal too many details over the phone. After all, in terms of confidentiality, Qin Zhen, an elite with a genuine military and police background, was even more so than him.

Therefore, Chen Feng asked him to come directly to his place so that they could have a formal discussion in person.

Of course, another intention behind Chen Feng's move was to use this opportunity to let Qin Zhen gain a real favor with Zhao Jinfu.

The two communicated in their local dialect over the phone for five or six minutes before quickly finalizing the arrangements and hanging up.

Zhao Jinfu continued to communicate with people in the local dialect of Xiuzhou, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety.

Chen Feng glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Xiao Jinhan, who was intently texting on his phone, and said in a deep voice, "Once things are settled here, let's talk alone."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinhan paused slightly in his finger movements, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes, but he quickly nodded and then turned his attention back to the phone screen.

Seeing this, Chen Feng subtly curled his lips, said nothing more, and sat down again, leisurely picking at his food and eating, as if the conversation just now was just a casual remark.

Xiao Jinhan, who had been focused on his phone, seemed to sense something when he saw Chen Feng's calm demeanor. He quickly put down his phone, picked up his chopsticks again, and began to eat somewhat awkwardly.

Neither of them showed the slightest embarrassment about this little incident at the dinner table. From this point of view, these two people from Xiuzhou can be considered prominent figures, and their skin is exceptionally thick.

Xiao Jinhan absentmindedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, but finally couldn't hold back any longer. He put his phone down completely, quietly moved closer to Chen Feng, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, pretending to be mysterious, "This time, Old Zhao really went all out and made a big show of it. He even mobilized his official connections."

Chen Feng didn't even lift his eyelids. He lowered his voice and asked bluntly, "Just tell me, what benefits do you get from going through all this trouble to drag me into this mess?"

Xiao Jinhan showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he chuckled and appeared extremely frank: "Xingrong Group owns a piece of land that a few friends and I have been eyeing for a long time, but unfortunately we've never had the chance to acquire it. This time, I promised to help make the connection, and regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Old Man Zhao has agreed to transfer that land to me."

His candor in revealing everything left Chen Feng with little room to say anything, especially considering the presence of his daughter, Xiao Panpan.

But Chen Feng wasn't going to give him a friendly look either, frowning as he continued to interrogate him: "The real estate industry is so sluggish right now, yet you still want to go against the trend and acquire land? Is there any profit to be made in this?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinhan smiled smugly: "That depends on the type of land. If it's in a prime location, even if the market is bad, or even half as bad, there's still plenty of potential for profit. This piece of land happens to be in a prime location. Over twenty years ago, Xinghan Group bought it and opened a factory there, right at the foot of Fox Mountain, next to the river. Back then, it was a desolate, rural area, but times have changed. Not only has a bridge been built across the river, but many mid-to-high-end residential communities have also been constructed, transforming it into another emerging commercial and residential core area in Xiuzhou, with huge development potential. So, as long as you develop a large commercial complex there, it's a sure-fire way to make money. If you're interested, I can make the decision and give you a share."

"Not interested." Chen Feng refused without even thinking.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinhan's smile widened, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Despite his seemingly calm demeanor, he was actually quite uneasy in front of Chen Feng.

After all, a person's reputation precedes them, and Chen Feng's previous reputation was far from good; on the contrary, he was infamous. Even someone like Dong Shanming had been subdued by him and was now his loyal follower.

Xiao Jinhan considered himself a big shot in Xiuzhou, but he was no match for Chen Feng, a "dragon crossing the river".

Fortunately, he has a promising daughter who managed to get together with a "tough guy" like Chen Feng. This naturally gives him more confidence as a father-in-law in front of Chen Feng.

Of course, he was also aware that Chen Feng had many female confidantes, and that his daughter might not hold a high position in Chen Feng's heart. His previous invitation to Chen Feng for help was purely a speculative move, hoping for a chance.

Unexpectedly, he actually managed to get this precious "date".

This at least shows that his beloved daughter still holds a certain place in Chen Feng's heart.

Therefore, he was genuinely happy at that moment.

After Chen Feng understood his true motives, he didn't bother to argue with him any further and continued eating and drinking on his own.

After waiting for about ten more minutes, Zhao Jinfu finally ended the long call. He walked over quickly and said to Chen Feng with a hint of respect, "Mr. Chen, everything is arranged here. Whoever you want to take to Luzon, all the visas will be processed by tomorrow. In addition, the operation will receive the necessary support and convenience from the Luzon police. Also, I will send Xiao Chen along, the one you just met downstairs. He has many friends in the underworld in Luzon. He can provide some additional assistance in terms of intelligence and manpower."

After listening, Chen Feng calmly asked, "There are rampant gangs and guns everywhere in Luzon. Our men will need to be armed when they go there. Can you help us sort that out?"

Zhao Jinfu immediately assured him without hesitation, "Yes! The main reason I sent Xiao Chen along this time is so he can use his connections to get a gun over there. Xingrong was too careless last time, thinking it was just a normal business activity, and didn't even inform me beforehand. Otherwise, if I had just sent Xiao Chen with him, this definitely wouldn't have happened."

"That's good. I plan to bring three people. The two bodyguards downstairs are mercenaries who have been fighting on the battlefields of the Middle East for several years. The other one is my friend, a policeman from XX Street named Qin Zhen. He and I had a previous experience going abroad together to rescue someone."

"Qin Zhen? You mean... Qin Zhen, the deputy director of the new criminal investigation department in xx street?" Xiao Jinhan, who was standing next to him, obviously knew or recognized Qin Zhen, and asked with great surprise.

"Yes, it's him," Chen Feng replied calmly.

Xiao Jinhan immediately clicked his tongue in amazement: "He's actually your friend? That's really... how come I've never heard anyone mention him before?"

Chen Feng casually explained, "He was my high school classmate, and we later got into the same university. However, he joined the army during his sophomore year and served in a special department. He became a policeman after his discharge. He is very skilled and should have extensive counter-terrorism experience."

Xiao Jinhan nodded repeatedly: "I've dealt with him before and I'm very impressed with him. That guy looks like a combat elite with off-the-charts combat skills, and he's also quite upright with the iron-blooded temperament of a soldier."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinfu quickly stated, "I have no objection. You can decide who to bring; it's all up to you."

Chen Feng nodded and then made another request: "I hope he can go abroad on a government-sponsored mission this time, so I need you to find someone to talk to his unit and give him a formal business trip assignment." Zhao Jinfu immediately understood and nodded decisively: "Okay, no problem! I'll call right away and ask them to help formally second your friend to participate in the operation to rescue my nephew."

After saying that, Zhao Jinfu picked up his phone again and went to make a call. Not long after, he returned and nodded to Chen Feng, saying, "Mr. Chen, everything has been settled."

Just as Chen Feng was about to speak, his phone rang at the perfect moment. It was Qin Zhen calling; he had already arrived at the villa's entrance.

A few minutes later, Qin Zhen and the others sat down again in the living room on the first floor. After discussing some specific details of the operation, they immediately split up and got to work.

After all, Zhao Xingrong was still in a perilous situation over there, his life hanging in the balance, and he could die at any moment. Every minute they delayed increased the risk, and they absolutely could not afford to waste any precious time.

Chen Feng and Qin Zhen came out of the villa side by side. Chen Feng switched to his hometown dialect and said to him, "I know you must have a lot of questions right now, but saving lives is the most urgent thing. We can talk about it in detail after we get on the plane. You should go back and get ready as soon as possible. If we can do it right, we should leave tonight."

"Okay, we'll talk about it on the plane."

Before arriving, Qin Zhen had already received official notification from his superiors that this trip to Luzon was for official business. If, as Chen Feng said, Zhao Xingrong, the well-known entrepreneur from Xiuzhou, was still alive and had been successfully rescued, then his contribution to this mission would be immense.

By this point, Qin Zhen could easily see that Chen Feng was deliberately trying to help him, allowing him to benefit from the situation and boost his performance.

But that's not the point. The real point is, how did Chen Feng suddenly acquire a kind of telepathic ability? This is completely different from the good friend he used to know.

If he hadn't completely trusted Chen Feng, hadn't had Zhao Jinfu and Xiao Jinhan, two bigwigs from Xiuzhou, as witnesses, and hadn't received an unquestionable order from his superiors, he probably would have thought it was all a fantasy.

Chen Feng quickly drove back to his home in Zijinyuan. He packed a few changes of clothes and the documents he needed to go abroad, then went straight to Wu Mengting's door, knocked symbolically, and then pushed the door open and went in.

Wu Mengting, who was engrossed in typing on her computer, looked up at him when she heard the sound. She didn't say anything, but her eyes held a hint of inquiry.

Chen Feng got straight to the point: "I'm going to Luzon as early as tonight, or at the latest tomorrow morning."

Chen Feng considered finding an excuse to lie to her, but then he thought it was unnecessary and simply told her directly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting stopped typing instantly. She frowned and asked in surprise, "What are you going to Luzon for? I remember the security there is really bad."

Since she was someone close to him, Chen Feng didn't intend to hide anything and told her the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting's expression changed, and she immediately stood up from her chair, her tone full of tension and worry: "This is too dangerous! You'd better not go."

Seeing her so nervous, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile and reassure her, "You know my super intuition. My intuition tells me clearly that there won't be any danger going there. Besides, as I just said, Zhao Xingrong is very likely still alive. If I don't go to save him because I'm afraid of danger, and he ends up dying, my conscience won't be at peace. I can't just stand by and watch him die. Moreover, his uncle is willing to donate so much money to support my charity work. It's only right and proper that I don't back down now. Everything is arranged now, and we have no choice but to go."

Wu Mengting knew that things had come to this point and it was unrealistic to stop Chen Feng. She could only purse her lips and ask, "Can you really guarantee that you won't be in danger?"

Chen Feng nodded emphatically: "Of course, don't worry, we will receive full protection and support from the local police this time, so there will definitely be no problem with our safety."

Chen Feng deliberately concealed the fact that he would be equipped with firearms, so as not to make her even more worried if she found out.

Sure enough, Wu Mengting's tense expression finally relaxed when she heard that there would be local police protection, but she still reminded her, "Then you must be extra careful. Don't think that you have some super intuition and that everything will be fine. Don't let your guard down."

There was a hint of lecturing in his words, but it was ultimately out of concern. Chen Feng smiled and nodded, not minding at all: "Okay, I understand. You continue writing, I'll go prepare what I need to bring."

After saying that, Chen Feng turned and walked out.

Wu Mengting instinctively wanted to follow, but after a slight movement, she sat back down. She still felt uneasy, and of course, she had no desire to continue writing.

She had originally planned to wait for Chen Feng to return so she could ask him about Zhang Yuxi, but this unexpected situation happened, and the words were already on her lips, so she couldn't bring herself to ask.

Chen Feng returned to his room and quickly checked the contents of his luggage bag again. After confirming that everything was in order, he zipped the bag up again.

The goal of this trip to Luzon is very clear: as long as we find (rescue) Zhao Xingrong, we will leave immediately. Therefore, we don't need to make too many preparations; a single duffel bag is more than enough.

Lying in bed, Chen Feng picked up his phone. There were several unread messages on the screen, all from his female confidantes.

As usual, he opened and browsed through them one by one, skipping over anything that wasn't important and not bothering to reply.

After quickly browsing through the information, Chen Feng was about to put down his phone when it suddenly rang. The caller ID showed Guo Mengyao as the caller ID.

Chen Feng frowned almost imperceptibly, but still swiped to answer the call.

"Come over here right now!" As soon as the call connected, Guo Mengyao's cool and urgent voice came through.

Upon hearing her tone, Chen Feng assumed something had happened and his heart tightened. He quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just come over here first!" Guo Mengyao urged, her tone firm and unyielding.

Chen Feng was a little annoyed, but he was still worried that something had happened to her, so he patiently asked, "Where exactly are you going? Tell me the address."

"The first hospital."

"..." Chen Feng was stunned for a full three seconds before he reacted and asked in a strange tone, "What are you doing at the hospital? You...are you pregnant?"

“I’m not pregnant! So, I came here early this morning for a full set of detailed tests, and all the results are in now. The report shows that I’m perfectly healthy, and all my fertility indicators are fine. So, the doctor suggested... that I bring you here for a check-up as well.”

Chen Feng was stunned for another three seconds before he reacted, saying with displeasure, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have two children now, how could there be a problem?" (End of Chapter)
